10 per cent rule for pooled funds

Inter-agency pooled funds supplement and build on existing agency funding mechanisms

To act as centers of gravity for aligning overall assistance, pooled funds should channel at least 10 per cent of total aid in a particular area.

Some facts on inter-agency pooled funds:

• UN humanitarian pooled funds: 12 % of total non-core

• UN development pooled funds: 5 % of total non-core

• Only one out of > 20 Delivering as One Funds has consistently reached 10 % benchmark of total expenditures

Page 6: UNDG JOINT FUNDING APPROACHES Orientation session for Donors Joint Funding sub-committee [New York, 5 November 2014]

UNDG Joint Funding Mechanisms

1. Joint Programmes – 3 ways to manage• Pass-Through (MOU & SAA) • Pooled (agencies work with same implementing entity)

• Parallel

2. Multi-Donor Trust Funds (MOU & SAA)• Country-level (incl. DAO/One Funds)• Global-level

3. Bilateral UN to UN Transfers

Page 7: UNDG JOINT FUNDING APPROACHES Orientation session for Donors Joint Funding sub-committee [New York, 5 November 2014]

Joint Programme, using pass-through

• Two to five UN Organizations develop a JP with common results framework, work plan, budget and governance structure

• Joint Resource mobilisation to meet funding gap• Donors agree to channel funds through Administrative Agent with

total contributions of more than one million per PUNO (threshold)

Page 8: UNDG JOINT FUNDING APPROACHES Orientation session for Donors Joint Funding sub-committee [New York, 5 November 2014]

Multi-Donor Trust Funds

• Multi-agency, uses the pass-through mechanism

• Supports a joint strategic UN programme of more than one UN organisation, such as:

- global / country level thematic objective

- One Programmes (Delivering as One)

• Used in humanitarian, recovery / transition, development and climate change contexts

• Joint resource mobilization & joint reporting

• Encourages multi-year un-earmarked contributions

• Threshold for establishment: 5 million USD / year
